Samsung has officially announced the launch date of its newest flagship smartphone lineup. The latter will consist of three devices – the Galaxy S23, the Galaxy S23 Plus, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra – and will formally make its debut on February 1st, 2023 at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event. The announcement came directly from Samsung itself.
In fact, we are so close to the event that the Samsung’s Galaxy S23 preorder reservations are now live. Of course, the early birds will be duly rewarded, in addition to the already generous pre-order deals that Samsung has come to be known for. All three Galaxy S23 models will come equipped with a custom version of Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. This will make the smartphones the most powerful Android devices on the market to date.
Beyond the major improvement in performance, users can also expect a plethora of additional upgrades. This includes superior battery life (courtesy of the energy-efficient SoC and the bigger battery capacities), and a vastly improved camera module on the ultra-premium Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Samsung is placing a lot of hope on this year’s Galaxy S series. Given the underwhelming fiscal quarter the company has experienced and the poor economic long-term outlook, Samsung really needs the Galaxy S23 to be a success.
Luckily, according to most sources, the prices of the lineup will likely remain the same as those of last year’s Galaxy S22. Still, only time will tell whether the Galaxy S23 has what it takes to succeed. The good thing is that we will know everything – sooner rather than later.
